There is a big difference in depreciation rates in this segment. Some cars lost up to 18% while others lost nothing. We can see that, in general, the older cars of course lost significantly less than the newer ones. 996s, 997s, and the early R8 V8s are 15 to 20 years old. Nissan Zs, new M2s, Ftypes, and GR86s on the other hand lost the most.

The older the car, the more likely you need to hassle with repairs and spend on repairs. So as a value conscious buyer, it makes sense to find a tradeoff between the age and depreciation rate.
